On Monday, we had music and Spanish. We got into the Blues music unit. On Tuesday, it was Mardi Gras and Mrs. Caporale gave everyone in the class a triple stuffed Oreo because we just finished our opinion essay. On Wednesday, it was Ash Wednesday and everyone got ash crosses on their foreheads. We also started the Iditarod project.  There was a "pep rally" and students from the school participated in some events such as the human Hungry Hungry Hippos game. On Thursday, we went on typing.com and did more of the Iditarod project. We had more music and talked more about the blues and switched seats. Mrs. Caporale introduced us to a book about a bunny made of  china named Edward Tulane. We did a science February weather graph. We had gym with Mr. Peterson's class! It was also Dr. Seuss's birthday. On Friday, it was the last day of Jump Rope for Heart. We chose what we wanted to play with as long as it involved jumping. There was a raffle in gym today for our class and John, Libby, and Chanse won. In art class, Mr.Kilps showed us about how to make things out of clay.

This week went fast.  We had Valentine's Day on Tuesday.  We exchanged cards and treats.  It was fun.  We had Jump Rope for Heart in gym class, and we had an assembly about raising money for the American Heart Association.  Please try to save a life by raising money for this important cause. This morning on the 16th we hosted the school mass.  We also had Elijah shadow in our class for the afternoon. We had a lab in science class where we tried to measure the amount of air in our lungs by blowing through a straw to make a big bubble.  The size of the bubble determined the amount of air.

This week was Great!!! We didn't have school on Monday, but on Tuesday we started to work on our brains in science. We also had our Social Studies and Wordly Wise tests. In gym we are working on Jump Rope for Heart. We learned about the digestive system in science. In Social Studies we learned a little bit about the Thirteen Colonies. In English we are learning about demonstrative and superlative adjectives. We made Valentines day cards for the Veterans.

This week was Catholic School's Week. On Monday, in the morning we had mass and the school spelling bee was in the afternoon.  Tuesday was Pajama Day. We went bowling and my team kept getting gutter balls, though we had a good time. Everyone had lots of fun. We screamed with joy when my friend got a strike. We left the bowling lanes at 9:30 and when we got back, we played the dictionary game. After that, we watched  National Treasures and some of the class went to Mr. Peterson's room to watch Night at the Museum. Wednesday was Crazy and Formal Day, where we did relay races with our star partners and did a crazy and formal parade. On Thursday, it was Dress How You See Yourself in the Future Day. Emelia was a photographer and took photos of people like Mr. Peterson, who was just himself.  Mrs. Caporale was retired in the future, and she brought shells and sand to sit by while sipping iced tea in her Hawaiian shirt and sandals.  The game show on Friday was amazing.  We played the Match Game, and classes had the chance to win dress down days.
It was a very fun week.
